This is probably used at another SEC school (haven't been to a game in a minute), but I'm partial to it. Could be a decent bridge between older fans and younger fans...
"TURN DOWN FOR WHAT"...DJ SNAKE & LIL JON
Epic video. That’s also a great timeout song.
The video cracked me up and made me think of this old Nextel/Boost mobile commercial.
Ive always looked at songs for these types of situations as needing to be up beat, necessarily milquetoast, and inoffensive. Thus, I give you Zapp and Roger:
Anything but what we currently have...there are tons of good choices out there that would appeal to all generations, but more importantly fire up the team.
Galvinise – Chemical Brothers
Welcome to the Jungle - Guns N Roses
Lose Yourself - Eminem
Can’t Hold Us - Macklemore and Ryan Lewis
"Can't Hold Us" works for me @GruvenDawg, assuming no one else is already using it.
I'll toss another candidate out there.
The intro guitars on the stadium sound system would be bad a$$. And when the vocals come in at 0:22 try to imagine 90,000 voices singing it (because it's not lyrics, just sing-along, so EVERYONE could do it.)
Plus the title to the song is fitting.
UTjr has been abusing this song for years. EVERY SINGLE third down. “Third down for what!!” Definitely took the shine off it for me.
HE!! YES!!!!!
My wife says Atomic Dog by George Clinton.
That would be great but if I had to pick a Parliament/Funkadelic collective song gimme that wailing guitar intro to Cosmic Slop https://youtu.be/0eR4aQrYozY
That is a fantastic suggestion. My favorite on the thread so far. What it lacks in volume/rock it more than makes up for in funk/dog.
I know how people feel about hip hop on this forum, especially the modern stuff, but I would rotate whatever's popular at the moment. If you listen to what they play at the opening and similar events, that's what they're playing. It's what the kids are listening to. I'm not saying play WAP, but something more like Money in the grave or Turks would be a better choice.
Also, how long have they been playing Baba O'Reilly? Because I can understand if you've heard it so many times pregame that it's become what you associate with Georgia football. I just can see a lot of kids thinking, "Why are we listening to some rock song that older than our parents?"
The older crowd will get over it if we switch from Baba O'Reilly. It doesn't rise to the level of "tradition."
Googling "Money in the Grave" and "Turks" right now. Thanks for the reply.
Ok, did my homework.
Money in the Grave (impressively) finds a way to incorporate f#ck, n1ggas, and h0es in the first three lines, whereas Turks manages nine lines before the first occurrence of offensive language, so I guess I can get behind the latter if that's what the students would like.
Appreciate the feedback.
EDIT: For the record, I didn't just look up the lyrics. I listened to the songs. And what I heard was, "f#ck, n1ggas, and h0es."
That’s why you can’t let students be the primary in any such decision. This generation hasn’t matured their decision making yet, and doesn’t comprehend the issue of children in the stands, or the concept of a civilized mind. Yo and I were listening to HipHop and rap music when we were in our teens, but it wasn’t the garbage/art of today. Public Enemy, Run DMC, Will Smith, Beastie Boys, Ice Cube, cypress Hill, Tupac, NWA, Salt n Pepper are just a few examples. Luke Skywalker was around back then, but NOBODY would have suggested that be played in a setting with adults or children. The statement regarding how the forum feels about hip hop ignores the fact today’s hiphop is really just a constant assault on societal norms and acceptable language. It’s actually ridiculous to listen to the stuff as anything other than a novelty act.
Keep.
